Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in Duck Creek, Utah
Duck Creek Village sits at about 8,400 feet on Cedar Mountain, roughly 45 minutes east of Cedar City on Highway 14. That elevation is the whole investment thesis for vacation rentals here — while St. George and Las Vegas families are sweating through 100-degree summers, Duck Creek is in the mid-70s with aspen-shaded trails, trout fishing at Navajo Lake, and easy access to Cedar Breaks National Monument. Because the community is unincorporated Kane County, short-term rentals remain legal and well-established, unlike many Wasatch Front cities that have tightened nightly rental rules in recent years. Most cabins sit in subdivisions like Movie Ranch, Aspen Hills, Strawberry Point, and Duck Creek Meadows, each with its own road access realities and HOA quirks worth checking before you buy.
Winter brings the second income season. Duck Creek is one of Utah's top snowmobile bases, with hundreds of miles of groomed trails leaving directly from town, plus Brian Head ski resort just 20 minutes north. That gives owners two distinct booking peaks rather than the single summer season you'd see at a typical lake cabin. Rental-ready properties generally run from the mid-$300s for older A-frames up past $1M for newer builds with garages, hot tubs, and sleeping capacity for 12-plus. Septic design, winter road access, and existing furniture packages all materially affect what a cabin will actually earn, so the details on each listing matter more than usual. Browse the active cabins below to see what's currently available and how each one is set up for nightly rental use.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in Duck Creek.
Does Duck Creek Village allow short-term rentals? ▾
Yes. Duck Creek is one of the few Utah mountain communities where nightly and weekly rentals are broadly permitted, with most cabins sitting on unincorporated Kane County land that doesn't impose the strict STR bans common along the Wasatch Front. Always verify with the specific HOA or subdivision (Movie Ranch, Duck Creek Village, Strawberry Point, Aspen Cove, etc.) since a handful restrict rentals under 30 days.
What's the typical price range for a rental-ready cabin here? ▾
Turnkey furnished cabins generally trade between roughly $375,000 and $750,000, with larger newer builds on bigger lots pushing past $900,000. A-frames and older 2-bedroom cabins occasionally come in under $325,000 but usually need updates before they perform well on Airbnb or Vrbo.
What kind of nightly rates and occupancy do owners see? ▾
Summer and fall weekends (June through October) book heaviest, with nightly rates often in the $225–$450 range depending on size and hot tub. Winter brings snowmobilers chasing the 300+ miles of groomed trails, so December through February holds up better than most Utah mountain markets. Annual occupancy in the 45–60% range is realistic for a well-managed 3-bedroom.
Is the cabin accessible year-round? ▾
Highway 14 from Cedar City is plowed and open all winter, which is a major advantage over seasonal-access mountain areas. Interior subdivision roads vary — some are county-maintained year-round, others require snowmobile or tracked-vehicle access from December into April. Confirm road status before assuming guests can drive to the door in February.
Do I need a well and septic, or is there municipal water? ▾
Most properties run on private septic and either a shared community well or individual well. There's no city water or sewer. Buyers should review the septic inspection, well-share agreement, and check whether the cabin has a winterization setup since freeze-ups are the number-one off-season maintenance issue at 8,400 feet elevation.
How far is Duck Creek from major airports and population centers? ▾
Cedar City is about 45 minutes down Highway 14 (and has a regional airport with Salt Lake and Denver flights). St. George is roughly 90 minutes, Las Vegas around 3 hours, and Salt Lake City about 4 hours. That Vegas-and-SoCal drive market is what keeps weekend bookings steady.
